TC Staff Professional Practice Days - Staff absent this week

As part of the Victorian Government Schools Agreement between the government and the Teaching Union in 2017, all teaching staff are required to take one professional training day per term. We have found that this has caused some disruption to lessons. In an effort to make this more transparent, and potentially less disruptive to students, we have asked all staff from one faculty area to take their day on the same day. All staff taking part in these days should still be providing work on Compass for students to be completed. This week we will have the following staff not in class teaching:

If you have signed up for Interschool sport this will appear on your compass otherwise you will not be allowed to train.

Subject Selection is Now Closed

The deadline for subject selection has now closed. Thank you to all students, parents and staff for working together to enable us to have the data ready to carry out our planning for 2019. Our next step is to see how many classes will run based upon the selections made, as well as having various staff looking at students selections to ensure that students have made good decisions around their 2019 subjects and courses. Staff will be working with students over any selections made that either don't look quite right or where there are questions. If you are part of the 1.5% of students who have not yet submitted your selections by the deadline, please contact your Head of House.

When students clicked on the "submit" button an email would then have been sent to students and parents confirming their preferences.

Subject allocations will be released in term 4 when consultations have taken place with students and staff. Please be aware that this process takes time, as we have over 1200 students all on unique pathways with their own course, so this takes a bit of time for us to work through.

Health Resources Wall - From one of our Students

"As part of an individual SSDP project, a wall of health resources has been created outside of the careers office- right near the front office. This wall is here for you. Whether you are staff, a student, a parent, or simply just a visitor. We created the wall as we want to ensure you are able to access all the information you want to. We want to ensure you experiencing good health and wellbeing, and hope the resources on this wall will help you to achieve that.

The informative flyers, fact sheets and brochures on this wall will be swapped out every month- and you can request specific things! If we don’t have it already, we will do our best to find it.”
